Edric's mother unexpectedly disappears and soon another woman has moved in with his father and persuaded him to send Ed from London to live with his grandad in Shropshire. Ed doesn't fit in and is bullied mercilessly by a gang led by Mitch Craven.

Ed soon learns of the Witch of Mitchell Fold. In this local legend, the fairy spell that gave the villagers a magical source of milk was broken by a jealous witch named Mitchell - in revenge the locals buried Mitchell alive in a stone circle. Visiting the stone circle Ed has a supernatural encounter with the witch and discovers that by confronting Mitch he can free both her and himself.

Luring Mitch and gang to the stone circle, Ed and friend Zack provoke a final horrific scene in which the witch recognises the bully as her own descendant.
